Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the inbound and outbound open innovation on innovative performance in firms of industrial clusters. We argue that firms with higher levels of absorptive capacity manage external knowledge flows more efficiently and stimulate innovative outcomes. And in a cluster with more trust between the firms, firms will achieve higher innovative performance through outbound open innovation. What’s more, we discuss open innovation in firms of labor-intensive, capital-intensive and technology-intensive industrial clusters, respectively. We argue that sourcing and revealing are more popular than acquiring and selling in firms of labor-intensive clusters. However, acquiring and sourcing are both very popular while revealing is more popular than selling in firms of capital-intensive and technology-intensive clusters.
